NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 2004

News -
Need a photograph of some aspect of the oceans? We have developed an image search feature in the Atlas. Just click on the images button on the home page. There you can see the most recently-added images to the Atlas or you can search for others through topics, keywords, captions and even the name of a photographer.

This month two new topics focus on the polar regions in view of their increasing importance in the debate on global warming. This trend, if continued, may change the strategic and economic importance of the Arctic Ocean through its use for commercial shipping routes and increased exploration of natural resources.

Thank you for your continued interest in the Atlas!
